Today, the dining room is empty.

But all we see are the memories.

Thank you for every meal shared, every conversation, every smile, and every person who walked through our doors. You made this dream possible, and we will never stop being grateful.

Although our storefront has closed, we hope to continue catering for special events. You can reach us at [email protected].

This may be goodbye to this space, but we hope it isn't goodbye forever.

❤️ Brian & Kellie

Look who surprised us on our last day! Our shrimp and grits are Princess Tiana approved.

Brian and I have spent countless hours sitting in this chair after closing, staring out at an empty dining room, talking about our dream and trying to find one more way to make it work.

Today, we have to make one of the hardest decisions we've ever made.

After a lot of tears, hard conversations, and trying everything we could think of, we've made the incredibly difficult decision to close Roux St. Café.

I don't think either of us has found the words for how much this hurts. This restaurant was never just another business. It was a dream we carried for years before it ever had a name. We poured ourselves into these walls, these recipes, these colors, and this community. Our hope was simply to share a little piece of that dream with all of you.

To everyone who came in for lunch, brought your family, trusted us to cater your weddings and celebrations, told a friend about us, or simply chose to try something new... thank you. You gave this dream a chance, and we'll never stop being grateful for that.

If you've been meaning to stop by, we'd love to see you one last time, to cook for you one last time, and most of all, to thank you.

We aren't saying goodbye to the dream. We're simply giving ourselves the chance to find a new way to live it.

Our hope is that this isn't the end of Roux St. Café. It's simply the end of this chapter. We don't know exactly what the future looks like yet, but we're holding onto the hope that one day we'll be able to welcome you back.

Our last day will be July 31, 2026.

Thank you for believing in us. ❤️

Our kitchen ventilation system isn’t working properly today, and for safety reasons we can’t operate.
We’re working to fix it quickly and will keep you updated.

Thank you for understanding!
